Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground veal, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced onion, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties, ensuring they hold together firmly.
- Brown Patties: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until they develop a golden brown crust on both sides, ensuring they are cooked through but still tender.
- Remove Patties: Take the browned patties out of the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Simmer Broth: Pour beef broth into the same skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan to enhance flavor.
- Add Sour Cream and Return Patties: Stir sour cream into the simmering broth to create a creamy sauce, then return the patties to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the sauce.
- Simmer Sauce and Patties: Let the patties simmer in the sauce over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve the Swedish veal patties hot, ideally accompanied by boiled potatoes or fresh bread for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding fresh chopped parsley or dill to the patty mixture.
- Use fresh veal if possible for the best texture and taste.
- The sauce can be thickened further by adding a small amount of flour mixed with the broth before sour cream.
- Serving with lingonberry jam is a traditional touch in Swedish cuisine.
